new game option, your thoughts

an option you can select when you set up a new league that dictates 50/50 dice rolls between the hitters and pitchers cards.

to prevent lopsided dice rolls against your team. i quit using gagne because he always got more rolls on the hitters cards than his own. totally screws up his performance for all that money.

If Gagne is always getting more rolls on hitters cards it is likely because of his R1 rating leading to quick fatigue combined with insufficient bullpen alternatives for Hal to use. He is thus forced to send out or keep out a tired Gagne on the mound. Advanced fatigue is implemented via shifting dice rolls to hitter cards.

Solution: More and better additional relievers.

But if they were to institute a forced 50/50 would also want them to track and enforce that all other dice rolls were equally balanced. So within that 50/50 the distribution between rolls of 1-6 were fully equalized over the course of whatever time frame is coded.

the 50/50 option made me think of a story told by the late Al Rosen, Following game 162 in 1978 the Yankees and Sox were tied and a one game playoff game was to be played to determine the division champion. Home field was to be determined by coin flip at the AL offices. Boss George sent Rosen to the AL office for the coin flip. Rosen called heads and the it came up tails home field to the Red Sox. Rosen had to now tell George , after telling George that he had choose heads in the coin flip, the Boss exploded with [ what the hell is wrong with you don't you know that tails cones up 75% of the time.] Bill
